Riding Fun Plus.

There are said to be bikers who go for rides without heartrate monitor and who do not aim for new speed records. Instead they prefer looking for yet undiscovered or even unrideable trails – especially for them we built the Whaka+ ES. The a little more relaxed position, balanced 140 millimeters of spring travel, but first and foremost the voluminous 2.8" tyres guarantee that most of your downhills will end with a wide grin in your face.
